Bachelor of Science in Enviromental and Energy Engineering (180 ECTS credits)

Employment Market

Future employers are often companies involved in district heating, industrial energy systems (for instance, paper and pulp producers), heating, ventilation, air conditioning and municipal water treatment. The employment market is broad and our former students have found jobs in many different areas. If you wish to work with environmental management, the combination of technical and environmental qualifications is highly appreciated on the labour market. As an engineer you have many choices. After a few years work experience you may target product development, or the development of different cleaning or energy systems. Engineers often have managing positions. The employment market is good at present. Normally our students have a qualified job within six months of graduation. In a global perspective water and energy issues are gaining importance and there are good job opportunities abroad. Our programme is highly regarded in the business and several companies are actively recruiting from the programme.
